[Android Head-Units] kaween:
:good: Cool pics. Glad to see someone doing a clean install in his car like that. Purists may mind the green buttons. :laugh: Hope the unit will serve you long and well ! In terms of reception, the glove box may or may not be a problem, it depends on material and structure of the car, even the material of the windscreen (heatshielded glass) can be a gamechanger. If this solution works good for you, all the better !

In my cars, I always either incorperated the GPS antenna in the inside (really INSIDED) the "hood" which sticks over your instruments. This hood is HOLLOW in most cases, and has a complete open view to the sky, limiting material between "open air" and GPS to 1 piece of glass and one layer of plastic, or I use Another trick and mount it behind the plastic cover of the A-Post (if the antenna is small enough).

Glad to have been of service, Sir. :victory:

I found the code by analysing an Italian presentation video of a S150 device. The manufacturers aren't too pleased having that info in the open most of the times, I wonder why. ;) I found it in my search how to activate RDS, as after a "full reset" this option is disabled as standard setting. Hifimax once told me "the first versions had no RDS, but these days the S150's had their RDS' standard enabled" ... so began the search.

The US/Europe setting has a difference in terms of "frequency stepping" when running the AM-Band. I doubt it would change much when using FM.

The remote is somewhat of a "well yeah ..." issue. If you've got kids on the backseat and run the unit in a multi-zone setup and they can look at DVD's back there, I might see some use. Other than that ...

Torque + BT won't work (I guess you mean a ELM327 with BT) from the box. That's because these units have the tendency to use the BT for handsfree-related functions only. So far, I only know of the Parrots who can be coaxed into accepting a BT OBD device over the build-in BT. So unless someone cooks a rom with Linux-based BT drivers to enable running a "second" BT interface or enable OTG over USB, we're basically stuck with Wifi. For Wifi, you need Ad-Hoc. For Ad-Hoc, you need the suplicant file AND root. We have both, so even in this early stage, Wifi ELM327 should work on our S150's once rooted and "supplicanted". Also : I read (but can't confirm) that if anyone has Wifi stability problems after using the supplicant solution, you SHOULD be able to :

1) first ad-hoc the ELM of your choice so that works.

2) then replace the "hacked" supplicant with the original backup again. As Android remembers the Ad-Hoc'ed device, it will still function as such even with the original supplicant file afterwards.

Ah, and MOST sources I've read clearly state you have to TURN OFF your Wifi when copying/backup'ing the supplicant files to avoid issues, reboot after the copy and only then re-enable wifi.

In terms of radio App, well yeah, I agree there are far worse versions out there. But that doesn't mean I have to give up looking for a better alternative now do I. :D I agree, chances are slim. But the chance I could have been of any help to your problems were slim too, and look at where we are just a day after you first posted your problems . :highfive:

I'm still hoping Gavroche will return at one point. I've looked at a couple of his thingies (the Roomba video) and although I'm an electronics engineer myself, he has the background knowledge I lack. Once that happens, I'm quite sure we'll be splitting of the S150 onto another topic.
